IGT Amsterdam 2 Printability Tester

A fully automated, multi-purpose printability tester with a selectable time interval between successive prints from the two individual print stations. Uniquely simulating on-press conditions. Capable of performing all the tests of the AIC2-5, GST-P & GST-3.

The Amsterdam 2 is part of the Amsterdam range of multi-purpose printability testers. The Amsterdam 2 model has a maximum of 2 printing stations. This enables the user to make a test print with a very short time interval between successive impressions – uniquely simulating on press conditions.

Through the use of the latest technology in motor control, it is possible to reach a very small time interval between successive prints, dampening and print, print and counter print or set-off prints. This makes possible a large range of new test methods, not previously possible.

The Amsterdam 2 is a fully automated tester with constant, increasing and combined speed modes. With these speed options, it is capable of performing all the tests of the IGT AIC2-5, GST-P plus the tests of a GST-3. Additionally it is capable of doing on-line analysis of Mottling,
Heliotest, IGT Roughness and IGT Print Penetration when an optional camera based analysis system is added.

Only requires single phase 220V or 110V supply – no 3-phase or compressed air supply, making installation easier and less expensive.
